He shouts: "Let's go. Bring the stinkin' juice," while exchanging a hug with an assistant coach before the game.

With the game in hand, the first-year coach took time to share a moment with first-year player Eric Ebron. The tight end thanked Reich for bringing him to Indy. Reich told his Pro Bowl pass catcher the feeling was mutual.

"Thank you for being here," he said. "We're here because of you."

After the game, Reich let the world know his team is here to stay: "The horseshoe is back, baby! The Horseshoe is back," he said as he jogged off the field.

The excitement continued once Reich got to the locker room. The former NFL quarterback took time to congratulate each one of his offensive linemen for their dominant play up front.

The Colts' front five paved the way for 200 yards rushing and they did not allow a sack all game.

"That was physicality," Reich said while slapping five with guard Quenton Nelson. "That's the way to get it up front men," he said to guard Mark Glowsinski and center Ryan Kelly.

The domination at the line scrimmage is critical in the postseason.

"You dominate up front!" Reich said during his postgame speech. "That's playoff football."
